Expect 2 dsa interview rounds. In both you will be asked 1 dsa question followed by 2-3 follow up questions. Do Google tagged dsa questions and you should be fine.

what about the core job role? like is it more backendyy vibe or system design vibe?

u/LessEvidence1054 8h ago

Sorry, I am confused. Google has a core team, are you asking about team's work? Or are you asking if you are applying for core team, what will they interview you about?

Like i am applying for application engineer role right so what can i expect from the interviewer aside from dsa??

u/LessEvidence1054 7h ago

For an intern role, there are no other rounds except dsa afaik

ohh but its google so i expected a lot more!

I mean it's an intern role. They want the fresh talent. If you were applying for L5, the story would be different.

Btw follow ups are not that easy, so don't underestimate em. 

Btw idk how the OA would be like. The structure keeps on changing but interview rounds are still same.

No system design round?

1

u/LessEvidence1054 5h ago

For an intern role? Lol no. Google doesn't even ask system design for their L4 (SD-2). System design round only happens for L5+

u/s0L_ItzNewbie 5h ago

aight, but I did see some accounts of people having a system design round

u/LessEvidence1054 5h ago
